ANCESTORS OF THOMAS SEWALL 



William 1 , Henrys, Henry3, Henry4, John5, Nicholas^, 
John 7, Thomas s . 

The earliest known ancestor of the Sewalls of New Eng- 
land is William Shewell, who married Matilda Home about 
1540. For proof of his connection with the Sewalls, which 
has been disputed by some, see Waters' Genealogical Glean- 
ings in England, page 153. 

William Shewell had two sons, William and Henry. Wil- 
liam was a vintner in Coventry, England, and became 
Mayor of that city. He, with his wife Ann, is buried in St. 
Michael's Church, Coventry, and a brass plate with an 
inscription to the latter, in which the family name appears 
as Sewaell, may still be found there. 

Henry Sewall, with whom we are more directly concerned , 
was also of Coventry. He was born about 1544, and mar- 
ried Magaret, eldest daughter of Avery Gresbrook or Graze- 
brook of Middleton in the county of Warwick. He was a 
linen draper, and Judge Sewall says that he acquired "a 
great estate". He was twice Mayor of Coventry, in 15 9 
and 1606. His will was proved April 8, 1628. He was 
buried in the Drapers' Chapel in St. Michael's Church. 

His eldest child, also named Henry Sewall, was baptized 
April 8, 1576, married Ann Hunt, emigrated to Newbury, 
Mass., in 1635, afterwards removed to the adjacent town of 
Rowley and died there March, 1657. He appears as "Henry 
Showell" in some of the colonial records. 

He had but one child, Henry Sewall, born in Coventry 
1614. His history may be learned in part from the in- 



% 



scription on his tombstone still standing In the burying- 
ground of the First Parish in Newbury. This epitaph, 
supposed to have been composed by his distinguished son, 
Judge Samuel Sewall, is as follows: 

"Mr. Henry Sewall (sent by Mr. Henry Sewall his father 
in ye ship Elsabeth & Dorcas, Capt. Watts Commander) 
arrived at Boston 1634, winterd at Ipswich, helpd begin 
this plantation 1635, furnishing English servants, cattel & 
provisions. Married Mrs. Jane Dummer March ye 25, 1646. 
Died May ye 16, 1700, JEtat 86. His fruitful vine being 
thus disjoind fell to the ground January ye 13 following, 
^Etat 74. Psal. 27, 10." 

f Judge Sewall says that the emigration of his father and 
grandfather was "out of dislike to the English Hierarchy". 
Jane Dummer, the_wife of Henry Sewall, was the daughter 
of Stephen Dummer who, with his brother Richard, had 
emigrated about 1638. They are the ancestors of the New 
England Dummers. 

Henry Sewall went to England with his wife in 1646-7, 
but returned to Newbury in 1658. During his stay in Eng- 
land he officiated as a Puritan minister. He represented 
Newbury in the General Court in 1661, 1663, 1668 and 1670. 
A house which he built in Newbury is still standing. 

John Sewall, son of the last named Henry, was born in 
England October 10, 1654, and married, October 27, 1674, | 
Hannah Fessenden of Cambridge, probably his cousin. She 
had come to Cambridge from England in 1674 with her 
brother Nicholas, from whom the New England Fessendens 
are descended. John Sewall' s tombstone stands near that of 
his father. He died August 8, 1699. His widow married 
Jacob Toppan of Newbury, and died April 4, 1723. 

John Sewall had seven children, three of whom moved to 
York, Maine; his only daughter Hannah, who married Rev. 
Samuel Moody of York, and Samuel and Nicholas, who 
married sisters, Lydia and Mehitable Storer. 

Nicholas Sewall, born June 1, 1690, married Mehitable 
Storer of Wells, Maine, born May 5, 1696, daughter of Sam- 
uel and Lydia (Austin) Storer, formerly of Charlestown, 



Mass. He settled in York, at the part called Newtown, in 
1708. He was a tanner, and in 1729 his tanyard was on 
land near "the minister's land". He died in 1740 and was 
buried in the old burying- ground near the Congregational 
Church. His widow married Jonathan, son of Abram 
Preble, in 1768. 

John Sewall of York, one of the ten children of Nicholas, 
was born Tuly 6, 1716. He married, Nov. 27, 1739, Mary 
Sayward (spelled also Saward and Seward), born April 23, 
1718, daughter of John and Mary (Bane) Sayward, gran- 
daughter of John and Mary (Rishworth) Sayward, and 
great-grandaughter of Henry Sayward, who emigrated from 
England with his wife Mary in 1637. She died Sept. 16, 
1781. 

John Sewall was a shoemaker. The latter part of his life 
was passed on Arrowsic Island in the town of Georgetown, 
Maine. He died in 1806. He had eight children: 

1. Susannah, born Oct. 1, 1741, married William White. 

2. Mehitable, born June 10, 1743, married Benjamin 

Trott. "She had 6 children at 3 births."

1786, her cousin Henry Sewall (son of Henry Se- 
wall and grandson of Samuel and Lydia (Storer) 
Sewall), a captain in the Army of the Revolution 
and afterwards Major General of Maine militia. 
She died June 19, 1810. 

7. Esther, married a Mr. Chisam. 

8. Theodore, born 1761, married 1st, Olive Beal; 

2nd, Mrs. Rebecca Pettie, said to be his cousin. 
He died Sept. 8, 1821. The births of nine chil-

the same day, are recorded in the Georgetown, 
Maine, records. 



PART II 



THOMAS SEWALL AND HIS DESCENDANTS 

Thomas Sewall 1 , son of John and Mary (Sayward) Sew- 
all, was born in York, Maine, Sept. 24, 1750. He removed 
to the Fort Western settlement in what was then Hallowell, 
but is now Augusta, Maine, 1775. He built a house on a 
lot near the "old fort", and had a tanyard in a ravine south 
of his house. He is said to have tanned the first leather 
made in the Kennebec valley. His house, altered and en- 
larged, was afterwards owned and occupied by Allen Lam- 
bard. About 1817 he appears to have moved to Gardiner, 
Maine, and had a tanyard on land until lately occupied by 
the Maxcy Manufacturing Company. He subsequently re- 
turned to Augusta. 

During the War of the Revolution, in 1779, as a member 
of Capt. Daniel wSavage's militia company, he took part in 
the expedition against Bagaduce (Castine), and was credited 
with three months' service. He used to relate, probably 
with some amplification, his experiences as a prisoner of 
war on a British prison ship. 

He married, Nov. 25, 1779, Priscilla Cony, daughter of 
Deacon Samuel and Rebecca (Guild) Cony, born March 12, 
1 749. Samuel Cony was the son of Nathaniel and Abigail Cony 
of Boston, and had moved to Hallowell in 1777. He was the 
ancestor of the Cony family of Maine.
